Another great inspiring video, thanks Nichole.
Beautiful as always, Nicole! Would you consider adding printable instructios to the Make it Monday videos? That would be so helpful to be able to take to the work area and use when trying out the different techniques.
Oh, I just love this project! Love the colors, the sets used and the way that banner sits perfectly on the card!
Thanks for another wonderful project!

Such gorgeous movement! I’m looking forward to trying this, thanks Nichole! 😉
Thanks for the fun challenge, and it was
How fantastic! I never would have thought of that on my own. It’s super cool and just beautiful!
love the colors, thank you!
Stunning Nichole!Love your card..thanks so much for this super video!
Love all the inspiration from the Make it Mondays!!
Thank you for the tutorial! I loved this when I first saw it and now I will enjoy using this technique over and over again! Your example is gorgeous-as usual!!!
Beautiful technique! Can’t wait to try it out!!!
I have a question though. The post says “You will have until 7am, Monday, January 30th, to add your link to the list”, shouldn’t this be a later date since it was posted today?
It appears that the details for this challenge are incorrect. The date is in the past. Also, is it correct that there needs to be a “SHAKER ELEMENT”?
what a gorgeous card!! love it!
Like the dimensional banner which adds such a nice touch to the card.

Super cute card and the banner really gives it the extra spark that I have come to expect from your artistic eye in creating cards. Love it.
So fabulous!
So clever…thanks for the great video!
very pretty stamping and like the dimension you gave to the banner!
Thank you Nichole, you are always so generous and a source of inspiration! The banner is beautiful and your tips to make it nice from the back and give extra dimension curving it are priceless.
I am looking forward for the sneak peaks.
FYI – It appears that entry #40 is just a link to someone’s website – no participating project.
just love to see inspiration….
Love this tutorial, I try it myself but forgot to post it with Mr. Linky.
